Roofing Materials & Upgrades
Asphalt shingle roofs are a popular choice in Northern California.
Asphalt shingle roofs remain one of the most affordable, low maintenance, and long-lasting choices in roofing materials. They come in a variety of beautiful styles, unique textures, and rich colors. Depending on the look you’re trying to achieve asphalt shingles could be the right choice.
Asphalt Styles Include:
Traditional or Scalloped Slate
Tile
Wood Shake
Dimensional or Sculptured Shingles
Random Cut or Shadowed
Benefits of an Asphalt Roof:
Cost-effective roofing material
Available in a variety of different styles to fit your home
Quick and easy installation process
Easy to replace if damaged
Our roofing technicians hold the highest certifications granted by asphalt shingle manufacturers so you can trust your roof will be properly installed. Each manufacturer offers limited warranties of 30, 40, and 50 years with limited wind warranties up to 110mph. Plus, when asphalt shingles reach the end of their useful life they can often be recycled into new materials making them an environmentally friendly choice.
Metal roofing is one of the most durable materials on the market.
Most metal roofs incorporate copper, aluminum, or RHEINZINK® (a titanium zinc alloy). Metal roofs stand the test of time without oxidizing or rusting. They can be installed on steep slope or low slope roofs and are a good choice in areas with adverse weather or where low maintenance roofing is an important factor. Metal roofs also provide excellent insulation which can significantly reduce your air conditioning and heating bills. Depending on the appearance you are looking for, a metal roof can be manufactured in a variety of styles, colors, and finishes:
Metal Styles Include:
Standing-seam roofing with large ribs
Panel roofing with a smooth or rough finish
Look alike styles that imitate tile, wood shake, rustic shingles, or slate
Benefits of a Metal Roof:
Low-maintenance roofing material
Gives your home a modern look and curb appeal
Lightweight, extremely durable, and long-lasting
100% recyclable
Our roofing technicians have been specially trained to install metal roofing - something our competitors cannot claim. This type of product generally comes with a much longer manufacturer’s warranty than traditional materials because of its durability. You could also see a large reduction in your homeowners insurance since metal roofs have been credited with protecting structures during forest and brush fires.

Cedar shake is a premium roofing material that adds classic style, warmth, and dimension to your home.
Cedar shake roofs are made from 100% natural cedar wood harvested and cut to order by manufacturers in the northwest United States and Canada. Cedar shakes are notable for being an eco-friendly roofing material that is energy efficient, naturally insulating, and has great durability. If you’ve got your eyes on a shake roof, check out the options available to fit the aesthetic you’re after.
Cedar Shake Styles Include:
Tapersawn
Medium-split and resawn
Heavy split and resawn
Benefits of a Shake Roof:
100% natural roofing material
Gives your home a unique charm
Excellent insulators
Long-lasting and strong material
Since cedar shakes are a 100% natural product they do not come with a warranty from the manufacturer. However, just like all roofing work completed by Harbert Roofing, you’ll receive a warranty that covers craftsmanship and installation. A properly installed and maintained cedar shake or shingle wood roof will provide your home with multiple layers of protection that can last a long time.
Tile is the most popular roofing material in the world.
Tile roofs offer superior aesthetics, weather-resistance, and longevity. A life cycle cost analysis shows that tile roofs are one of the best deals on the market. Available in clay tile or concrete tile, both have a useful life between 50 - 100 years. As time passes clay roofs become richer in color and develop their own character unequaled by other roofing materials. On the other hand, concrete tile is less expensive to manufacture and is the more popular choice. Both clay tiles and concrete tiles can be manufactured to replicate popular styles and complement the look of your home.
Tile Styles Include:
Authentic Spanish
Mediterranean
New England Colonial
Contemporary
Benefits of a Tile Roof:
Available in a wide variety of colors
Lasts for 50 to 100 years
Only roofing material with a Class A fire rating
Will not decay or corrode
Similar to our other roofing materials, installing a tile roof requires a unique understanding of the materials and their proper installation. The roofing technicians at Harbert Roofing have the experience with tile to ensure all the proper preparation and structural analysis is completed to provide you with a beautiful tile roof that will look great for many years.
Upgrades customize and increase the value of a new roof.
Upgrades add style, energy efficiency, and the cost can be minimal in relation to the value added. Talk to one of our qualified roofing technicians if you are interested in any of these upgrades as there may be package options available with specific upgrades for you to take advantage of.
Solar Panels
Solar panels have become significantly more affordable in recent years and many homeowners choose to install them along with their new roof. Solar can potentially increase the value of your home and significantly reduce monthly utility costs.
Shed Roofs
Replacing shed roofs along with a new residential roof increases curb appeal. The small footprint of a shed roof adds minimal cost but maximizes overall aesthetics. Shed roofs are easy to forget about so be sure to have us inspect them. A simple roof repair can make a world of difference in keeping your belongings safe and dry.
Patio Covers
Adding a patio cover to your home will enhance its beauty and increase your property value. Attached patio roofs can incorporate many different designs and materials to coordinate with any style of home. They create more protected space on your deck or patio making outdoor living more enjoyable.
Skylights
Natural light changes how your home feels and functions. One of the easiest ways to brighten up a living space is by getting a skylight fitted and installed on your roof. By reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day you’ll save on energy costs. The orientation of the skylight can also increase passive solar heat gain in the winter.
